> Sorry for the confusion.
> Fundulus blairae is now recognized as a subspecies of F. dispar, starhead
> topminnow. This designation is based primarily on the morphological work of
> Bob Cashner (Univ. of New Orleans). He has also looked at them biochemically
> and I assume the data also support the subspecific designation.
> The common name for Fundulus dispar blairae is southern starhead topminnow.
